The Daily Mail has gone WAY too far now.

What was the motivation for the terror attack?

Well, Britain first is not incompatible with the DM story. He could have been worried about immigrants being given his house.

I am not defending him. I am just saying I don't think anything from with the story.

If I explain how someone got cancer I'm not taking a pro-cancer stance. It's important to try to empathise with people we disagree with, even those who behave in truly vile ways. If we don't even attempt to understand how such events occur than how can we possibly take measures to prevent them?

So he was shouting britain first, make britain independent again etc etc and you still think its the immigrants fault. Moron.

But a court already reached a verdict that this was terrorism.

No, I am saying he may very well think it is.

I'm not saying it wasn't terrorism, it clearly was. What I'm saying is we need to understand the motivations that led him down that road. Why did he become a terrorist? How people end up engaging in such behaviour is something that is very important to explain. I have no respect for the Mail in general, but I do think we need to be free to ask questions without being seen as hateful. There's nothing wrong with asking why someone did a horrible thing or trying to explain it.

But there's no reasonable reason for it.

So the mail's theory was that it was the immigrants fault. Do you thing thats acceptable because i dont.

That is irrelevant.

Terrorism usually isn't "reasonable".

But if it was the reason as to why he did it then it wouldnt be terrorism.

Id rather trust the court verdict than the DMs silly theory thank you very much

Journalism is supposed to involve an exploration of all theories. I agree with the other posters entirely that presenting a theory does not mean justifying it. To conflate the two is just silly.

A theory that is wholly rubbish. You seriously think that the DM picked up on something that the court didnt? Dont be stupid.

The issue here is that we already know the reason behind this murder. It was a white nationalist who committed a terrorist attack. The DM however somehow gives us all a far fetched, bs theory with complete disregard for the formal court process and somehow manages to blame it on the immigrants.

Of course we can trust the TSR morons to defend the DM.

So he was shouting britain first, make britain independent again etc etc and you still think its the immigrants fault. Moron.

It sickens me that people are blaming immigrants for this.
